Release notes for PM-LOGON version 2.

Release: 2024-04-17 Copyright (C) Siemens AG 2024

Please read this before installing PM-LOGON!

These Release notes have precedence over current statements in

manuals and the Online Help in terms of their binding nature.

If you have any queries, please contact the hotline (WinCC Competence Center Mannheim)
Tel.: (+49) 621 1723-1010.

Please state the identification number (software product label) and the "Key ID" (you find it in the PM-License
Manager).

• The PC components PM-LOGON Runtime, PM-LOGON Server and PM-LOGON Configurator are only
compatible with each other in the same version.
• PM-LOGON Runtime for Panels V1.x to V2.6 is upward and downward compatible with PM-LOGON Runtime
V1.x to V2.6.
• For the correct operation of the USB dongle it is necessary that voltage fluctuations at the USB port are
avoided. We therefore recommend at use of USB equipment which obtains its supply directly from the USB
port, to insert a USB hub with its own a power supply.
• Productive operation in virtualized environments or RDP-Sessions is not generally supported; the
compatibility depends amongst other prerequisites on the used card reader device.
If you are planning to use PM-LOGON in a productive virtualized environment, please contact the WinCC
Competence Center in Mannheim.
• The connection between an RFID reader and an RFID transponder is a radio link that can be negatively
affected by other electrical fields, e.g. from mobile phones, power supply units, Wifi adapters. The quality of
this radio connection also depends on the reader used and the type of transponder used. PM-LOGON can
therefore not influence the stability of this radio connection and therefore cannot guarantee it.
• The installation and operation of PM-LOGON on an Active Directory Domain Controller is not supported.
• For reasons of data protection from PM-LOGON V1.1 on the Unique Identifiers (UID) of the assigned
transponders are stored encrypted in the User Repository. User Repositories created with PM-LOGON V1.0
must be migrated with the first start of PM-LOGON Configurator. If you plan to upgrade from a PM-LOGON
V1.0 installation, please contact the WinCC Competence Center Mannheim.
After migration, the User Repository is not compatible with prior versions of PM-LOGON V1.1 anymore.
• During the installation of PM-LOGON the service "PMSecurityService" is also installed. During the
installation of the service, a local user account named "PMSecurityService" is automatically created and
assigned to the service as an execution account. The user is created with a randomly generated password
and assigned to the local administrators group. If the machine is a member of a domain, the group policies
may need to be adjusted so that the "PMSecurityService" user remains in the local administrators group.

• Important notice:
A change of the service execution account of the PMSecurityService or a change of the password of the
execution account may cause that the data stored in the user repository can no longer be read.

For the installation of PMSecurityService the service "Server" (file and printer sharing) must not be
deactivated.
• RFID logon to the Unified Comfort Panel with central user management is currently not yet supported by
WinCC Unified Runtime V18.
